Hi Chuck, IMHO this is not correct.
I recently struggled a lot with 4D View (Pro) licenses. A customer has 40+ users on 4D Server (v16), but only a few of them need 4D View. So they bought a 5 user license. These are my findings : - if there are no user groups, the licenses are assigned upon login (until the number of licenses is exceeded) and freed when the user logs out. Actually using the plugin code is not required. - if there are user groups, it depends... -- a user who is not in a group will get a license on login -- if the plugin access is not limited to a group (plugin checkbox not checked in any group), all users will get a license (if available) -- if plugin access is limited to a group (plugin access can be limited to only one group!), only users belonging to that group will get a license when logging in (which I needed) Caveats: - USERS TO BLOB will only store the goups created by Administrator (standard behaviour). Eg when you want to restore the settings when updating your db at a customers site. - BLOB TO USERS does not restore the group plugin access (at least not in v16.3, haven't tested v17 yet). Bug? I don't know (yet). Maybe USERS TO BLOB does not store these settings correctly?
